When Prospero arrives on the island, it has been enchanted by the witch, Sycorax, who died a short time before they arrived. Fortunately Prospero's books on magic allow him to release good spirits that had been imprisoned in trees on the island. The chief spirit is Ariel, a lively little spirit who becomes Prospero's servant.
